Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Bather Woods, "Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist" (U Chicago Press, 2025)
Q: How does Schopenhauer's view on suicide balance with his ethical system?
He acknowledges a right to suicide under extreme distress but argues against it as a moral duty; instead, he promotes willlessness and compassionate action as a path to relieve suffering.
David Bather Woods, "Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist" (U Chicago Press, 2025)
Q: What makes this book a different approach to Schopenhauer compared with previous biographies?
It's structured around social and worldly topics—like love, death, solitude, and politics—rather than just a chronological life story, offering new interpretive angles on his ethics and metaphysics.
Colloquies on European Civil Procedure: A Conversation with Marco de Benito
Q: Can you talk about what harmonization means?
Harmonization is about bridging divergent legal traditions through soft and hard law instruments to provide workable, non-imposed common approaches; it focuses on best practices and collaborative dialogue rather than simple majority rule, aiming for functional coherence across systems.
Populism, Polarization and Politics: Hungary on the Eve of Elections
Q: How do you define populism in this Hungarian context?
Populism is used heuristically to describe the mobilizing logic and us-versus-them rhetoric, not a fixed ideology; Fidesz's form blends populist elements with elite-guided governance, so the term has limited substantive fit but helps explain messaging and polarization.
Populism, Polarization and Politics: Hungary on the Eve of Elections
Q: What role did the electoral system play in polarization up to 2010?
The system was majoritarian and strategically engineered to favor a dominant party; gerrymandering and vote irregularities helped create and sustain a two-thirds majority, amplifying polarization by marginalizing smaller parties.
